Unlike the ferocious sperm whales, humpback whales are generally very docile when they encounter humans. So far, Xiang Yang has never heard of any incidents of humpback whales injuring people.
The main reason why Xiang Yang did not allow the two humpback whales to approach Qinglong Bay was that he was afraid that they would be stranded on the beach of Qinglong Bay.
After all, humpback whales are very naughty. If they suddenly do a somersault in the shallow water near the beach, they can easily be stranded on the beach.
Fortunately, humpback whales are very smart. They have an IQ equivalent to that of a four or five-year-old child, and they are very obedient after getting familiar with Xiang Yang. After Xiang Yang gestured for a while, they understood that when they saw the "shore", they could no longer swim forward and could only wait for Xiang Yang to come back where they could not see the "shore".
It's just like when a kid's mother is going out to buy groceries and she knows not to open the door and run around.
Get on board.
set sail.
Xiang Yang led his men straight to the outside of Qinglong Bend.
Fang Youqun was also on the boat for some reason. He asked Xiang Yang, "Brother Yang, where are we going?"
Xiang Yang asked: "Do you want Big Head and Two Heads?"
"Ah? I haven't seen them for a long time." Fang Youqun immediately asked in surprise: "Are we going to look for Big Head and Two Heads?"
Since Xiang Yang changed to an ocean-going fishing boat, he has never sailed far away, and many crew members have never seen the two humpback whales.
Xiang Yang had gone to see him a few times, but he didn't go there by boat. He swam directly to see him.
"Yes, let's let Big Head and the others see our new boat." Xiang Yang said, patting the side of the boat.
"That's great, that's great." Fang Youqun was so happy that he danced with joy. "I'm going to help Datou clean the barnacles off his body."
Xia Pengjie and Tang Bao were confused. What are Big Head and Two Head? Are these people's names
What a strange name
Also, can barnacles grow on humans
They felt a chill down their spine.
After Fang Youqun's explanation, they realized that the Big Head and Two Heads that Xiang Yang mentioned were not two people, but two whales, and they were humpback whales.
"On the boat, you said you raised humpback whales, and two at that?" Xia Pengjie exclaimed.
Xiang Yang quickly corrected him, "I can't afford to raise two whales, it's me who has two whale friends."
Xia Pengjie's eyes widened in disbelief, "How can humans become friends with whales?"
"That's right." Fang Youqun said proudly, "I have also helped humpback whales clean barnacles off their bodies, fed them cuttlefish, and even climbed on their bodies. Look, this is a photo."
A group of people who had never seen a whale quickly squeezed their heads above Fang Youqun's mobile phone screen and watched eagerly.
Humpback whales are definitely one of the overlords of the ocean. They are very rare. Although they either grew up by the sea or studied at an ocean university, have they ever seen a real whale? No, Xia Pengjie and his friends have only seen pictures of whales in books and on computers.
“Are you sure this picture isn’t photoshopped?”
“You actually climbed onto the back of a humpback whale, and it didn’t bite you?”
A group of people looked at the pictures posted by Fang Youqun, their eyes red with jealousy.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Humpback whales are very social animals. They have a clear distinction between love and hate. They will use their fins or tail fins to hit creatures they hate, and will even use their heads to butt against them, even if it means they will get their heads broken and bleed, but they are really docile to creatures that are close to them. If you get along well with those two humpback whales, they will protect you when you encounter danger while diving in the future."
Xia Pengjie and the others all looked at Xiang Yang eagerly, fascinated in their hearts.
"Look, they are swimming over here, right ahead." Xiang Yang pointed in a direction.
Everyone hurriedly looked over there.
I saw two humpback whales swimming slowly on the sea. Most of their bodies were submerged in water, with only their huge humps above the water. From a distance, they looked like two free-floating islands.
Xiang Yang saw them, and they also saw Xiang Yang.
“Woo—”
The male whale let out a cheerful cry, then it was seen swimming faster and faster underwater for a while, and then suddenly breaking out of the water, but its entire body did not jump out of the water. Instead, when its front fins reached the water surface, its body began to slowly bend backwards, like an acrobat doing a backflip.
"Bighead." Fang Youqun jumped up from the deck and called out loudly to the humpback whale.
"It's really a humpback whale." Xia Pengjie screamed.
"Look, that humpback whale is performing acrobatics." Tang Bao also shouted excitedly.
Xiang Yang smiled and raised his arm and waved to the two humpback whales.
The male whale let out another joyful whale cry, then rushed to Xiang Yang's ocean-going fishing boat, happily slapping the left side of the boat with its fins.
These two humpback whales are very lively.
"Master Chen, go to the cabin and carry out the cuttlefish." Xiang Yang shouted.
Chen Qingsheng immediately took a few crew members and ran towards the frozen warehouse.
It is not difficult to thaw frozen cuttlefish. Take it out of the freezer, take out the large ice cubes visible in the foam box with your hands, then pour boiling water into it, and the remaining crushed ice will melt immediately.
Soon, Chen Qingsheng and his men moved four boxes of cuttlefish out of the cabin.
Xiang Yang was also generous and directly poured a whole box of cuttlefish into the boat.
When the two humpback whales saw this, they immediately opened their mouths wide and waited for food.
Soon, the four boxes of cuttlefish were eaten up by the two humpback whales. The two humpback whales knew that Xiang Yang would not feed them anymore, so they flicked their tails, turned their bodies and swam in another direction, as if leading Xiang Yang.
This is the habit of the two humpback whales. Every time Xiang Yang goes out to the ocean, the two humpback whales will meet Xiang Yang outside Qinglong Bend, and then lead Xiang Yang for a while. After the fishing boat accelerates, they will stay far behind the fishing boat until the fishing boat stops, and then swim closer when Xiang Yang and his companions dive.
However, this time Xiang Yang did not let the fishing boat follow the two humpback whales.
The two humpback whales slowly stopped swimming, turned their heads, and looked at Xiang Yang with puzzled eyes.
Xiang Yang smiled and asked the crew to turn the bow of the boat, and then slowly returned at a speed of two or three knots.
When the two humpback whales saw Xiang Yang coming out and about to leave, they immediately became anxious and hurriedly waved their fins to follow him. However, after swimming for a distance, they seemed to have touched a red line and anxiously slapped the water surface with their fins, but did not dare to move forward another step.
Xiang Yang knew that this was because they could see the outline of the continent. He smiled and waved to the two humpback whales, signaling them to follow him.
The male whale hesitated a little, and the female whale flapped its tail fin and slowly followed.
The male whale immediately floated its big head above the water and looked at them nervously. Usually every time this happened, Xiang Yang would look ferocious and threaten them to go back.
